To minimize the overall workload, it is easier, and simpler, to do it before reviewing newly added strings, than afterwards. (For starters, doing it afterwards means having to review those newly added strings at least twice, and maybe thrice.) >Especially if you are a native English speaker and have a style guide at hand. Just as the English language has never met it word that it has not adopted as it's own, so it has never met a grammatical construct that it has not adapted and mutilated. One direct consequence of both those facets of acquisition, is that it is incredibly difficult to write a sentence in English that is grammatically incoherent, but extremely easy to write a sentence that grammatically means the opposite of what was intended. IOW, that certain string might be "clear, concise and grammatically, syntactically and typographically correct", but mean something other than intended, because the vocabulary is usually used to mean something else elsewhere. BTW, when you say "style guide", which specific one do you mean? jonathon -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJUyH1ZAAoJEKG7hs8nSMR7cv0P/Rws6m/2XmSKBTbMk4FWtN+e CZCw8Ch92t91+T8ih76PxIaAa0YKvpMoC7oV/j8mhDcYkHbzV+LGv0DgQkS0uxu1 Fi/v18w8b+JgnRbISBSmiZ3Bnhgi2dLONTLH4JUAuqRjGbMmteNVqjcV61C4fO+P AFxOn8HUZJy2vdNpYmEGi9uvsOwWXvgiTFF8vnBOyI+6nv0gPYjbCFBXmBlylYwf cjGdbORnwhfLJ5c6zQkFvZh74ffMEcqfQl63Flw7WV1nSc6JbVfDVn7jrvG1jp3k 4sycs/I0Tlja1biPuevwa2JBMT3+HudUCSZvh7MwhQ3SZ0liD2W8/bx64q9RPd68 Nk9NLXXilhTA/4xhR84/ViodxBJ6xzZakbU2Ln7HMvF3CwFTFf1ezJoR5PujYUcK WfnCH2/oWwkKa6f+LSIT3Dx3AIoI6vBG49yeCoZHmr5+1G2TEcvfQnxuischk7/r nHpPuMbFmV9FLrc4hOnYIwuCB7WzsMNpmyBjwfKUjNwFtozHhzLO011jyMBje3GM g7akbPdTPOqpeSrJ22v3dehjkUX9i+b6bhWf43Bt7NfnOn/keT6FNx6WhmuMQL7H pt4cHRUHvWdX++w+/VF2omTJFqNEBfQcvKlUISFlTd/BQWlIh4SkYq4L6p9siGLM lghc+axFELCpcksUKP0i =sCY8 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: projects+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/projects/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
